Meneghello Paolelli Associates brought us the whimsical Cup sink, so should you be surprised to witness the way that another item in the One Shot collection, the ArtCeram Light Washbasin, has been unusually inspired by a table lamp? The form of the slender base and the flared lampshade do cleverly suit the physical criteria of a functional sink setup, but the iconic outline immediately makes one think of the illuminating object that influenced its design.
This enlightening association is the charm of the peculiar Luciana Di Virgilio piece, which brings bland bathroom fittings into the amusing realm of sculpture. The ArtCeram Light Washbasin appears to have been manufactured in a glossy black and a lustrous white porcelain, hiding the drainpipe down its shaft and the deep bowl within the shade.
